Remington stands apart from other leaders

I enthusiastically support Mandi Remington as a candidate for the Johnson County Board of Supervisors. Mandi's dedication to social justice in our community over the years has earned my respect and endorsement in the upcoming June 4 Democratic primary.

Mandi Remington embodies authenticity in her words and actions, drawing from her own life experiences often underrepresented in local government. As a single mother raising three children on a modest income, a survivor of domestic violence, a recipient of social services, and a renter, Mandi fearlessly speaks truth to power, shining a light on issues that may otherwise remain obscured.

Mandi’s leadership within CCAN, a local social justice network, demonstrates her ability to lead with calm, organization, and reason, allowing diverse voices to be heard and considered in the policymaking process at the highest levels of government.

In times of injustice, Mandi has consistently stood up for marginalized communities, whether advocating for LGBTQ+ rights in the face of legislative assaults or fighting for essential food programs for families in need.

In a landscape where promises are plentiful but action is scarce, Mandi stands apart. She refuses to be shackled by the constraints of conformity or the allure of acceptance. Instead, she stands firm in her convictions, demonstrating a rare courage to challenge the status quo and disrupt injustice head-on, even when doing so is uncomfortable or unpopular.

I encourage voters to learn more about Mandi's candidacy at mandi4supervisor.com and to join me in casting their vote for her on June 4th.
